  • Fuel Bridge Across the Middle East— Israel, Iran, and the Eilat-Ashkelon Oil Pipeline
    Uri Bialer Fuel Bridge across the Middle East— Israel, Iran, and the Eilat-Ashkelon Oil Pipeline “The pipeline is either unnecessary (in a rational and peaceful world) or unfeasible (in a world in which Israel and the Arabs are engaged in a power struggle).” [Paul Frankel, British oil expert, 1956] ABSTRACT One of the most difficult problems Israel has faced has been securing sources of energy. That existential reality explains the secrecy that Israel has kept relative to the various means it has employed to overcome these difficulties. However, recent declassification of Israeli documents facilitated the publication of several academic works which emphasized and explained the major solution of the state’s oil problem during 1957–77—the evolving relations with Iran. Still, the climax of these economic relations, in the joint venture of the Eilat-Ashkelon oil pipeline during the late 1960s and early 1970s, has not yet been analyzed using the new government records. The article illustrates that Israel had been preoccupied with plans for the project long before 1967. It also provides an analysis of the intricacies of the Israeli- Iranian dialogue on the subject, and uncovers some unknown elements of Tehran’s and Jerusalem’s complementary and conflicting perspectives. 29 30 • israel studies, volume 12, number 3 INTRODUCTION For many years one of Israel’s most vexing problems has been the need to guarantee its energy sources. Ironically, Israel’s location in the heart of the oil-saturated Middle East was the major obstacle to realizing its goal. Over the years, bitter conflict with the Arab world prevented Israel from acquiring an independent oil supply in the region and from inter- national companies.
